Former Macquarie Bank, Citibank, Lloyds & CBA executive reveals the acquisition strategies most buyers never hear about.
Most people assume buying a business means draining savings or taking out a massive loan. That's simply not true if you know how to structure the deal.
There are three financing structures — vendor finance, earn-outs, and cash flow funded acquisitions — that allow buyers to acquire businesses with little to no money down. Private equity has used them for decades. Everyday buyers have no idea they exist.
Over 70 Australians across healthcare, hospitality, logistics, retail and more have now used these strategies through this process. Some closed their first deal within 8 weeks.
Over 70 everyday Australians — lawyers, IT professionals, career changers and entrepreneurs — have bought businesses through this process.
No prior business buying experience. Used the acquisition framework to identify, evaluate and close a healthcare business in just 8 weeks — while continuing to work full time as a lawyer.
Wanted out of corporate IT but didn't want to start from scratch. Within 3 months of joining the program, Imay had purchased a restaurant and was running his own operation.
Used the Buy Box framework to identify a simple, low-overhead cash-flowing business. Lionel structured and closed his acquisition with confidence — his first ever business purchase.
Identified a promotional business that aligned perfectly with his background and ambitions. Structured and closed using the acquisition framework — now generating a six-figure income stream.
The assumption that stops most people before they start: buying a business means draining savings or taking out a big loan.
It doesn't — if you know how to structure the deal. There are three financing structures that change the equation entirely. Private equity has used them for decades. They're available to any buyer who knows how to ask.
I spent two decades inside the world's biggest financial institutions — structuring acquisitions, evaluating businesses, and advising at the highest level across Australia, the US and the UK.
After leaving banking I founded the Business Buyers Institute with one mission: give everyday Australians access to the same deal strategies that private equity has always had.
Now I work exclusively for buyers. Not brokers. Not sellers. Buyers.
